Summary:
New Zealand and Swedish researchers have demonstrated that the human brain can produce new brain cells, in a study that may lead more effective treatments for brain damage and disease. The researchers say the finding provides another area of study that could reveal ways to repair human brains that are damaged from injury or diseases, and emphasizes the importance of animal research in guiding biomedical research in humans.
